Desktop NGFW with PoE

The PA-555-POE is a desktop next-generation firewall that delivers 7.5 Gbps firewall throughput and 5.0 Gbps threat prevention throughput. It supports up to 448K concurrent sessions and 75K new sessions per second. The unit includes a 120 GB storage capacity and runs on PAN-OS with a single-pass architecture.

PoE interfaces and power

The appliance provides four 1G RJ45 PoE ports and four 1G/2.5G PoE ports with a combined PoE output of 332W. Two 1G RJ45 bypass ports and two 1G SFP plus two 1G/10G SFP+ ports handle uplink connectivity. Power input accepts 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz with maximum consumption of 503W.

Zero Touch Provisioning and HA

Zero Touch Provisioning simplifies initial deployment by automating configuration retrieval. High availability supports active/active and active/passive modes for resilience. Management access uses a dedicated 10/100/1000 out-of-band port, USB, RJ45 console and USB-C console. Virtual systems scale from one to five with additional licences.
